Phyllis Calvert Facts
Worked in Hollywood for 7 years without success and returned to Britain.

Mostly known for her rather lightweight film roles in drawing-room comedies or costumed melodramas, she subsequently played weightier roles on the stage, such as Jean Anouilh's "The Rehearsal" in 1961 and Chekhov's "The Cherry Orchard" (1971).

Often typecast as the virtuous victim, but proved to be more versatile than previously expected by the 1950s. Calvert's role in Mandy (1952) has often been regarded by critics and fans alike as a high point in her career in that the film allowed her the opportunity to demonstrate a range that all too often went untapped earlier in her film career.
